Pushmi depends on memcached to deal with locking of the
repository.  I'm not really comfortable with the lack of security (in
this application) of the current debian version of memcached;
essentially anyone on the same host has access to the daemon.
Probably it is difficult to do much worse than a denial of service
attach, but better to be cautious.  The next upstream release of
memcached (1.2.4?) should include better support for unix domain
sockets, at which point I plan to move forward with the packaging of
pushmi.

The patch to memcached, along with some startup changes, can be found
in BTS
